For those of you visiting for the first time welcome! Stay a while :) We are sisters who share writing this blog, design quilt patterns and are fabric nuts! Every week we feature three different quilters and their finished quilts, and we'd love to feature YOU! We also share our own quilts and projects :) You can check out the sidebar on your left for different types of quilt stories or to see our projects.

This is the reason that I go to my Mom's house all the time to craft! Seriously this view looks photoshopped! She lives about 20 minutes away, and she is a super clean freak. Plus she loves to take care of us, feed us, sew for us. We couldn't ask for a better mother or a better location for her to build a gorgeous house!

Last time Megan was out here we sewed and sewed. We created this quilt for our super cute niece who just turned 20! We thought it would be a fabulous quilt for college. She loves it!

We did super soft minky for the backing. Just so nice to snug up in, especially since our darling niece lives in a nice winter town. Our wonderful Aunt did the quilting. The quilt was a total collaborative effort, Megan and I each did half the blocks and our mom pieced the top :) We just looooved some of the prints of Peacock Lane, it is perfect to fussy cut.

The pattern will be available in our shop shortly. Let us know by email or in the comments if you would like a notification when the pattern is available. We will contact you..

Our Mom doesn't like the quilt! She thinks we went a little out of control with the colors, that we should have been so much more unified. I was a little surprised just how open she was about not liking it! She is a little old school about color combination. Bless her heart!

haha, bless your mom's heart. she's funny! it's awesome and totally hip for a college girl. i remember when you guys were cutting the fabric for this ... wow, i love how it turned out! that's one lucky niece. but, now is every college-bound niece going to expect a Quiltstory original? ;)

I got so caught up in the world series that I forgot tonight was the time to post a quilt. dang. I don't know if I'll have anything. Long comment - maybe should have been an email.

Hi! I love your colourful quilt! If there is white, all the other colours may be mixed together (almost) and it works for me. But still I like also colour themed quilts. Your pattern is very good for lots of colours!xxx Teje

Oh...what a lucky young lady...and how wonderful you and your sister are so blessed to be able to quilt with each other and your mother. We often joked that they swapped babies in the hospital when I was born...my mother had no use for arts and crafts...and I have been holding a needle since I was big enough to know what one was. Beautiful quilt...thanks for sharing with us.
